MLB Picks

Wednesday MLB Betting Odds Report 6/25

One game has already started, the beginning of a full day of
MLB play. Again we've broken down the baseball betting odds before coming up
with our top picks for a number of the best games of the day. What do we have
in store for Wednesday?

New York Yankees (Kuroda) vs. Toronto Blue Jays
(Hutchison)Covered by Willie Bee and Jeff GrantLet's just put it this way: it hasn't been the most
successful of seasons for either Hiroki Kuroda (4-5, 4.23 ERA) or Drew Hutchison
(5-5, 3.86 ERA) so far, but there's still a long way to go. Hutchison and the
Blue Jays will be barely favored at home for this evening's game.

We have varying opinions here, with Willie liking Toronto to
get it done and Jeff all over the Yankees. Will the Blue Jays pull off the
sweep?

We have our doubts Dan Haren (7-4, 3.62 ERA) will be able to
be as efficient tonight despite a solid start to his campaign. James Shields
(8-3, 3.70 ERA) starts for Kansas City, with Willie backing the OVER.

Boston Red Sox (Buchholz) vs. Seattle Mariners (Iwakuma)Covered by Ron PatrickIf you didn't know, the Mariners are one of the hottest
teams in baseball right now, having won five straight games. They're only 5.5
back of the Athletics for the top spot in the AL West because of their
excellent run.

Ron has analyzed the MLB odds, and in the battle between
Hisashi Iwakuma (5-3, 3.04 ERA) and Clay Buchholz (2-4, 7.02 ERA), Ron has
opted for Iwakuma and the Mariners.

San Diego Padres (Kennedy) vs. San Francisco Giants
(Lincecum)Covered by Jeff GrantIt's been a turbulent couple of weeks for the Giants, who
have dropped eight of their last ten games. As a result, San Francisco's lead
atop the division is only three, with the Dodgers playing at a high level right
now and making a run.

We have Tim Lincecum and Ian Kennedy pitching tonight. We've
seen great things but mostly inconsistency out of these two this season, but
ultimately Jeff is banking on a win for Lincecum and company.

Detroit Tigers (Sanchez) vs. Texas Rangers (Saunders)Covered by Willie Bee and Matthew JordanThe winning streak is now at five games for the Tigers? And
what about the Rangers? Well they've been awful, losing six straight to put
them in a massive hole in the division.

You'd have to say the pitching edge goes to Detroit in
tonight's matchup, considering Anibal Sanchez (4-2, 2.33 ERA) has looked great
when healthy. Willie and Matthew agree that the Tigers are the right side, with
the latter going as far as to take them on the run-line. He also likes the
OVER.

Throw in the fact Baltimore is 17-18 at home and Chicago is
15-24 on the road and we don't see an edge whatsoever with a money-line
selection. We can't fault Jeff at all for focusing on a total play, though some
may be surprised to see he actually thinks the UNDER holds the most value.
